@libp2p/peer-id-factory
Create PeerId instances
About
Generate, import, and export PeerIDs.
A Peer ID is the SHA-256 multihash of a public key.
The public key is a base64 encoded string of a protobuf containing an RSA DER buffer. This uses a node buffer to pass the base64 encoded public key protobuf to the multihash for ID generation.
Example
1import { createEd25519PeerId } from '@libp2p/peer-id-factory' 2 3const peerId = await createEd25519PeerId() 4console.log(peerId.toString())
